'Damn it!' At that point, Ambrose's anger flared. 'That sneaky Zack! How dare he try to ambush us?'
Despite his young age, he had many experiences in the world of cultivators. He knew the reason behind Zack's strategy was so Zack could use the opportunity to escape.
Ambrose rushed in front of Quincy. He swung his Tyrant Hammer to deflect the silver darts away from Quincy. Her body was still quite weak even after the poison had been purged. She would not be able to deflect the darts. If Ambrose did not intervene, the darts might pierce her body.
Ambrose halted all silver darts in the blink of an eye, and they made audible sounds as they fell to the ground. Zack took advantage of the situation to flee. He clenched his teeth and hurried as quickly as lightning to disappear into the darkness, covering the wound on his body with his palm.
"Go after him!" When Quincy spotted Zack fleeing, she became agitated and yelled. She wanted to follow, but she grimaced, and sweat poured down her brow as she tried to move. Her body was still weak because she had just gotten rid of the poison. It was not the best time to be anxious.
Ambrose had intended to pursue Zack, but upon noticing Quincy's distress, he swiftly halted and asked, "How are you?"
"Ignore me." Quincy was quite desperate and pointed in the direction Zack had left. "Go after him now. You must not let him live."
Quincy was well aware of Zack's personality. He was not only cunning, but he was also a master of disguise. Even if he failed and revealed his true identity, he would not give up snatching the imperial seal. Above all, Zack held command of the army. It would cause more trouble if he returned to the Royal City and fabricated a false account with the civil and military officials. Hence, Zack must be killed.
The more Quincy thought about it, the more anxious she became. In the end, she sat down on the floor. Her face was pale, showing how weak she was.
"Alright!" Ambrose was helpless. He said with a wry smile, "Even though that man deserves to die, you still need to take care of yourself. I had just expelled the poison from your body; remember to stay calm. In my opinion, you should stay here and rest, and I will go after him."
Ambrose was ready to leave as soon as he concluded what he wanted to say.
